Engineering experts informed NBC News that after a thorough investigation, repairs projected to take months are needed to move the office-to-apartment building project forward.
The building, formerly known as the Pfizer headquarters, is located in Midtown Manhattan. On Wednesday, New York City officials announced the building’s current stability and the commencement of emergency repairs. These developments followed a city-led evacuation across several blocks surrounding the site due to structural concerns.
Despite the confirmed stability, many residents and local employees remain unsure about subsequent steps as the project continues.
